Psalms 106:1-9

1 Praise the Lord! 1 Give thanks to the Lord, because he is good; his love is eternal.
2 Who can tell all the great things he has done? Who can praise him enough?
3 Happy are those who obey his commands, who always do what is right.
4 Remember me, Lord, when you help your people; include me when you save them.
5 Let me see the prosperity of your people and share in the happiness of your nation, in the glad pride of those who belong to you.
6 We have sinned as our ancestors did; we have been wicked and evil.
7 Our ancestors in Egypt did not understand God's wonderful acts; 2 they forgot the many times he showed them his love, and they rebelled against the Almighty at the Red Sea.
8 But he saved them, as he had promised, in order to show his great power.
9 He gave a command to the Red Sea, 3 and it dried up; he led his people across on dry land.
